Yes, I think that is a good idea. [should stop talking]

There was no military necessity to evict and lock up US citizens of Japanese ancestry or Japanese immigrant labourers who'd been there for decades and would be naturalized citizens if the law didn't prevent them from becoming citizens. There was no land war in the coastal states and no prospect of there being one.

I'd have no problem with locking up Japanese citizens who were recent arrivals, worked in professional positions, or in war-sensitive industries, or who had frequent travel to Japan. But the only reason that most Japanese Americans and their parents were locked up is because they were of Japanese ancestry. That's inherently racist.

You forgot to mention that some of your best friends are Japanese.

Your careless use of "they" conflates a lot of different groups. The American citizens of Japanese ancestry had no involvement in or responsibility for the faults you list. Nearly all Japanese citizens alive today have no responsibility for the crimes committed in WWII. The only thing all these "they"s have in common with the case this thread is about is that they share Japanese ancestry, so your whole case is racist.

Nearly all Japanese citizens alive today have no responsibility for the crimes committed in WWII. They have a responsibility to acknowledge that they happened which they don't.

DotheMath...I am forced to admit that you are an don't know **** and are uneducatable. I say this because I have posted many reasons why a case could be made why it was a "military necessity" You have no knowledge of military history or alternative history. You must be an idiot to think that the Allies couldn't have lost WW2. I recommend you educate youself. Frankly I am tired of it. Find a few books on alternate endings of WW2. Or at least reread my posts here. I can think of dozens of ways we could have lost WW2.

You do realise this isn't NVG? You just make yourself look really bad with a post like this.

Thank you for providing my morning chuckle.

I live in the Kooteney Mountains of BC Canada. The Canadian Japanese internment camps were a 30 minute drive from my home. I have 2 friends of Japanese descent that were raised in the camps and went to the schools. A large number stayed in the area at the end of the war.

I'm 43 years old and until very recently I could never understand the need for the camps. I recently read the book "Unbroken". It's the story of Louis Zamperini. It was made into a movie (that I here is not very good). To make a short story long. My dad gave me a copy of the book. My dad grew up in Torrance California. The Zamperini family is from Torrance and my dad grew up down the street from them and knew them as a kid. In the book LZ ends up in a Japanese POW camp. The head of the camp is someone that LZ met in college in California. The Japanese soldier had been sent to school in the US, before the war, to spy on the west coast of North America.

This was new info to me. I did not know that Japan had been spying on North America and planning an invasion for years before Pearl Harbor. Japan had sent people to NA in preparation of an invasion. Though I have never heard of armed soldiers being sent. This information changed my mind on the internment camps. The US and Canada were correct to suspect people of Japanese descent. I don't know if internment camps were the best solution. Though, I understand the need to do something.
